WHY IT WAS DONE.

This method OF proceeding the commits
sion at the time believed had important ed
vantages and il still believes viii condace
the best results in the end. You speak
strongly and earnestly of the reasons for
granting your application, but in order 10
warrant Is being granted II is not enough
that the application, If considered by itself,
appears to have merit. The commission
must consider in each case what the effect
the giving of relief TO one applicant viii
have upon other interests, and your knowl-
edge Of railroad matters must enable you to
perceive that in some sections Of the country
the granting Of one application may so afTect
the Interests of othor roads as to create nectss-
sity Tor like relief 10 several more, the satis-
faction Of one complaint begetting others
which arc equally nieritorious until, If all
are satisfied, the exception becomes the rule.
A CONCLUSIVE REASON.
But when such q result IS probable the
reasons for declining to make any temporary
order arc very conclusive. The commission
cannot consent deliberately 10 enter upon a
highway where 10 all appearance there viii
be no halting place within the limits Of its
lawful jurisdiction II the general suspen-
sion Of The "long and shot hari clause Of

Before deciding these questions Judge
Cooley says the commission felt itself justi-
fed. if not compelled, to look beyond the
record and to seek such aid in construction
as might be derived from study of the con-
dition of things pertaining to the transpor
tation of persons and property which Con-
gress by the act had undertaken to deal with.
Such an investigation necessarily involved
giving a hearing to interested parties, and
consequently required time. The commits
sion, however, deemed it wise to grant
some temporary order on an investigation
not as complete as it expected finally to
make.

WITEB STATES MAIL ROBBED.
The BuckbOardS Between this Place
 and Navajo Held Up.

On Monday night last the blackboard from Navajo to St. Johns was held up, the driver robbed of some $80 express money, and the United States mail bags rifed. The story told by the driver is about as follows, as near as We could learn. He says that when about eight miles this side of Navajo, and just as he had driven in amongst some scrubby cedars, man jumped out from the side of the road, with pistol III hand, and told him to throw up, which he did. The highwayman then searched him to see if he had any arms, and finding none proceeded to cut open the mail bags, and examIne the registered matter. Ali ter he had satisfied himself in this line, he searched the driver, who had on his person $S0 belonging to Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express, which the bold, bad high wayman ,confiscated.
 The driver says he then put the mail matter back into the sacks ard onto the blackboard, got on himself, and made him drive towards St. Johns for about five miles, when he ordered him to stop. They then dismounted, took a seat on the side of the road, and waited for the blackboard from this place to Navajo to come along. After waiting about four hours their patience was rewarded by the appearance of the blackboard from this place, which the highwayman ran sacked in the same manner as he had the one from Navajo.
 This, We believe, is the third time the United States mail has been stopped and robbed in tLis county within the past two or three months. The first was the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad; then the blackboard between Fort Apache and Holbrook, and now between Navajo and this place. Three men are reported to have been engaged in the robbery of the railroad train, while lone highway man held up the buckboards.
 To our mind, the most remarkable part of the whole transaction of the last robbery, is the story of tte blackboard driver. The night on which the rob- bery took place was perfectly clear not fleck or cloud to be seen-the moon was about fuil, and it was almost light enough to have read large print. The robber is reported to have worn no  mask-searched the driver for concealed weapons and afterward for money rode some four or five miles on the buck board with him. They then got out of the blackboard, took seats on the side of the road and were talking until the mail from this place came along, which the driver says was about four hours. After so many opportunities to have exam ined the man closely-after four hours time in which to have recovered from any fright he may have felt at the out set, he is utterly NunabIe to describe the I man, except that he wore ight colored hat, and was rather tall and slender.
 This story is almost as gauzy as that told by the Feputy Treasurer-that six or seven men could surround his house on wet night, when the ground was soft, take him to the Treasurer's office, rife the safe, and make no tracks at either place, nor pack any mud into the office on their boots.

''mucho bravo" whiskey, proceeded to shoot the town up. He only had time,. however, to fire three shots, when our vigilant Marshall put in an appearance and persuaded the shootist to accom- pany him to the cooler, where he was tenderly cared for until morning, when he was fined $50 for his little fun by Judge Cate.

 There has been band of horse thieves plying their vocation between this sec ton of Arizona and Colorado for some time past. It does seem remarkably strange that such gentry never know when it is time to let up. We should think, from the recent experience of some of this fraternity, both in this and Yavapai county, would teach them that it is time to change the base of their operations. .

The man who attempted suicide here few days since is having a serious time with his wounds. There is some doubt of his recovery.
 Sheriff Mulvenon and the Sheriff of Grant county, New Mexico, passed through here with the Mexican that Deputy Sheriff Odell captured at Flag staff, en route for Silver City, the place where the deed was committed. The facts of the killing as learned from Mir. Mulvenon are about as follows: The Mexican had killed man and wounded a woman. In a short time Deputy Sheriff Hall happened along, perfectly ignorant of any killing have taken place, but the guilty man think ing the Sheriff was after him, fired on him with fatal effect.
